[NTLUG:Discuss] SuSE 12.2 64-bit and networking

Yes you can uninstall it and use "ifup and ifdown" through terminal method
if you wish.
I like the NetworkManager myself ( when it works correctly), in the early
days it was a pain in the rear, but has gotten much better. In YaST just do
a search for NetworkManager.
